Not a lot to say about Tournai

Tournai - not a bad little city but not where I'd be recommending a weekend away.

It did however provide us our first frites of Belgium - in serving size grande!!  So so crispy, even the final frites that had been sat in the bottom the whole time.


The main reason we were staying in Tournai was for a day trip to Dupont and to have fresh Saison Dupont at Les Caves across the road.  However, in true Belgian fashion, the brewery tap is closed indefinitely.

Luckily the locals' haunt La Forge was open, is just 100 metres down the road and serves fresh Saison Dupont so we had a few and a Moinette Blonde and started the five kilometre trek back to the train station, most of it along the main road, eating green walnuts and kicking stray potatoes at each other.



And that's pretty much all Tournai had to offer us.
